Prickles are features on many plants, perhaps most famously, thorns of roses, as featured in many fairytale stories. Why do some plants, even those that seem unrelated share this thorny similarity? In revolutionary research, scientists show Lonely Guy is behind it.
Solar farms play a crucial role in reducing our reliance on fossil fuels for energy, and have been a key driver of generating clean energy. But solar farms could also play a wider role in boosting biodiversity.
The biodiversity loss crisis is forcing scientists to think outside the box, or in this case, planetary bounds. With natural hazards and climate change a risk to building a bio-repository here on earth, the moon could be the safest bet. Is this "one small step for man, one giant leap for conservation?"
Have you ever seen a plant in another country that left you so fascinated that you considered bringing it home? We tell you about the dangers of making this decision.
The Antarctic midge may be able to face icy cold winds, sub-zero temperatures, and water deprivation, but how will it hold up against climate change?
Since ancient times the fig was considered the tree of immortality, fertility and abundance. In ancient Egypt it was a symbol of knowledge of mysteries. In some regions of Asia it is still a symbol of male fertility, the power of life and the seat of elementary spirits.

It’s not just athletes who are in Paris for the Olympic Games, scores of scientists will also descend on the city for their own friendly forecasting games.
Around 50 years ago, geologists uncovered fossils of what they believe to be some of the earliest cell lifeforms. New research has connected these cells to bacteria currently found in the Dead Sea.
A recent study published in Nature presents NeuralGCM, a neural general circulation model that promises to significantly improve climate and weather forecasts through advanced machine learning techniques.
